FOREWORD
TO the casual reader this book
will portray most of the joys
and a few of the sorrows of
Cadet Life.
To the Class of it's source may it
ever be a relaxation in times of ten-
sion, a spur to the jaded imagination,
a memoir of the most intimate asso-
ciations and the truest friendships
of a lifetime. Suffering as they may
have, "the slings and arrows of out-
rageous fortune", it remains but for
the future to erase all troubled mem-
ories and to supplant them with only
happy recollections.

On a well-remomberod day m early Septembei-, in the ycai- of our Loid,
one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, there came into our midst, the
future honor and glory of the old Institute, this noble product of the sub-
urbs of Lynchburg. He had no sooner embarked upon the rough waters of
rathood, than his abilities were recognized, and he was made section mar-
cher of that famous 7th section. At the end of his rat year, he had made
two momentous decisions — of liecoming the master of test-tubes and hydro-
chloric acid fumes, and that all women are liars and deceivers, except one.
With his pcrserverance and natural ability, you may rest assured of his suc-
cess in the tii'st, and it would not be surprising if one day we learn that the
unknown element between barium and radium has
been discovered. As to his success in the latter, there
is no doubt in the minds of anyone who has seen the
number of specials he receives, post-marked "Lynch-
burg." In June, 1920, the Institute loses a valuable
son, but one who cannot fail to bring future credit
and honor to his Alma Mater. John, j'ou are a true
friend, good-natured, unselfish, loyal and all of us
unite in wishing you the sincerest Godspeed.

'Twas back in the days wlicii Twenty were rats that this little Ray, the
sunshine of Mi-t;inia, drifted thru the arch and cast his radiance over bar-
racks. His marvelous ability to produce an excuse at a moment's notice soon
earned for him the moniker of Alibi Alvis. With his roommates he has al-
ways been noted for the easy way in which he could out for a "bone" and
win. Along some other lines he has not been quite so fortunate, notably,
backing "dark horses" at the hops and filling "interior .straights" in E-2.
As a rat he drew some awful chords out of his horn while practicing
wdth the "Keydet Orchestra," and even became so proficient in this brand
of wind .iamming that he attained the magnifieient position of understudy
to the Great and Only "Tom Du. " His accuracj'
while chewing tobacco has long been the terror of
the grasshoppers and the envy of all the members of
the Crackei' lian-el cli(iue down in " FEEsherville,',

When the wav came on our Hero champed his bit
around barracks a U'w weeks and then departed for
Fortress ilonroe in spite of "Old Nick's" refusing to
accept his i-esignation. Acting thus, he saci'ificed bis
record to his patriotism and accepted his dismissal as
the need of a would-bc-hei-o. Down among the "Big
Gun Wrastlcrs" anil working hard, he was in a migh-
ty fair way to lie sporting his "liaby Pin" by Christ-
mas, when Kaiser Bill called quits and the "Canqi
("ontiiioeiit " returned to the ])ursuits of the elusive
.lip.

Into the jaws of Hell eaiiie Pete on one 8epleniber Morn when his guid-
ing star rolled Snake Eyes consecutively to the God of Fortune. He suc-
cessfully passed through his Rat year, during the usual gross things, as tell-
ing an Old Keydet "to be seated." As a hard third classman he donned
those corporal cheverons and become ideal "in running" (demerits). When
his blouse had a couple of stripes upon it he became an electrician, contrary
to the laws of Nature being born and bred an Artist of the first water in
both knocking off hay. and slinging a line.
When his country called he went to Camp Taylor as a rough and ready
Artilleryman. There "Big Buck" became the "Bell Boys Buddie" and the
"Chum of Old Taylor." An officer suggested traiis-
fei'ral to the tank corps, he being one by nature, but
Bill did not like this as there would be bigger ones
there and he could and would not be outshone.
Pete, though no large man in stature, deserves his
monogram, having been on the Varsity Poker Squad
for two years. As a first classman he was all right
till Leap year '20 rolled around, but from then on he
has been S. 0. L. Neither his own Calic nor Dame
Fortune courted him while the choice Avas theirs. He
thinks he will be a .jeweler after getting a dip., hav-

lierres. However. Avhatever he is we know he will

To gaze on that picture one could, gues.s some of the virtues. l)ut it would
take a wieer sage than inhabits these walls to enumerate the many good
qualities of the real thing. To say "Bert" is a good fellow hardly starts
it, or to say "a Lion among Ladies," would be merely a beginner for him.
One of the best men that ever wore the grey is an adequate tribute, for such
is his standing among those that have known him for four years, or one.
As an athlete he holds the highest position in the class ; four years on
the bafketball team, and captain in the last. In football "Beaney" was a
.sensational "Find." not only winning his monogram but he was one of the
main faetoi-s in the Thanksgiving victory. He was named on the All South
Atlantic Basketball Team, which shows his mettle
along that line. He has been Captain of the Swam-
ming Team for the past three years, and in his first
I'lass year was President of both the Monogram. Club
and the Athletic Association.
"Bert" is unusually prominent during the hops
and many a strange damsel has "fallen" for his danc-
ing or winning ways. He goes from here into busi-
ness, the success of which is assured. No man who
has gone through four years wdth his enviable record
could change in the future, so our best w'ishes go out
with the surety of a lifelong V. M. L man. ,

After quite a lot of preparation for entering "college," "Btid" drifted
into the Arch one morning early in September, 1916, strolled nonchantly up
to the O. D., saluted and reported for duty. Having been told that this
place was "heaven," he was not quite prepared for the reception tendered
him at the hands of those "mean Third Classmen," but soon became aecits-
tomed to their daily vi.sits and the life here.
Thruout his four years at the Institute, "Judge's" strong point has been
penalty tours. No "keydet" in recent years has even shown any promise of
equaling his record in this respect. Therefore, his militaiy aspirations have
not rini very high and his chief ambition is to rank
the Commandant, even if he has to die first to accom-
pli.sh this desire. On the very few occassions his name
happened to miss the list of "tourists," the, "Bud"
considered it a suspension day for himself and might
be seen taking a little exercise that afternoon by
walking in the vicinity of East Lexington, having
quite a number of friends in that thriving metropolis.
Aside from this, his principal occupation is "hitting
the hay" and he may be found in his "lily white" (?)
at almost anytime, even during Morning Inspection.
During his many tours, both night and day, a
kindred feeling sprang up between "Judge" and
others of the "trifling element," which quickly de-
veloped into a close friendship and spread thruout
the entire corps. Here's wishing vou the best of luck,
"Bud."

but into militai-y circles. Innocuous rat, running corporal, color sergeant,
and the saintly fii'st lieutenant, — Tom i.s now upon the threshold of gradua-

Beyond being from Alabama, and rooming in a menagerie, Tom has no
vices. The clicking of chips and rattling of dice are an abomination, and
betting approaches a sacrilege. But it is said that all truly great men have
a weakness, and his lies in love of food. Yea verily, his hunger is everlast-
ing, and his appetite dieth never. Growley holds no terror for him and eggs
are a delicacy.
He loves hunting and may be seen any holiday
roam.ing around with a gun. But he has one thing
on most of us, as he knows how not to go wrong.
When he is a portly gentleman of fifty we may ex-
pect that he will have bagged the big game of life.

"What ho! The Guard I" cried the sentinel as this long, lean and lanky
drink of water shuffled into the arch, way back in the dark ages of Sep-
tember, 1916. Surviving the reign of terror as a rat. he came back strong
and has clung to the ship for four long yeai's.
His capacity for food is unlimited, his only superior along this line be-
ing Tom Benners. You can find him at every hop, but don't let that fool
you. He doesn't go to shake a "nasty foot" — the supper attracts him. In
fact, he is the first one every time to be fed and watered, and yet the last
to leave the trough.
The sight of a text-book makes him turn deathly pale. He doesn't be-

places so much alike as barracks and the iirfernal

As a rat, llcni-i was, well, to put it mildly, notorious amoiij>' tlii' Third
Classmen. When he .swam through the dark days of his rathood into the
glory of being a mean Third Classman, he decided that running was useless
foi' sueh as he, and accordingly set out for the opposite extreme. However,
when he came back to us from his period in the army, he had suffered a
change of view, and even took to wearing cuffs to "rev."
"The military" is his fetish, and he knows the I. D. R. backwards and
forwards.
After much thought, he decided that Civil and Electrical were too hard,
and "Arts" too easy for him, and so perforce took Chemistry. In the labora-
tory, his motto is "Spare the ammonia, and spoil the
works," and he drives all others out of his corner.

Early in September, 1917, this young lad wended his way from Ports-
month along the tortnons route to the sacred old tOAvn of Lexington; subse-
quently matriculated at V. M. I., signing various pledges and papers, the
contents of which he held in total ignorance, and mechanically and unknow-
ingly passing through sundry details of becoming a "Third Class Rat." And
what is more, he traveled on a pass and has since been deluded by the usual
barracks talk of a Christmas furlough for diligent and deserving keydets to
such an extent that he procured a pass especially for the occasion.
According to his statements, with great effort and emotional gloom, he
passed thru his year as "third class rat," leaving behind only mechanical
drawings to be picked up later on. As a second class-
man he gladly became a disciple of "Chappie," and
ever since has been an ardent reader of Ibsen, Tur-
genreff, Browning, Ibanez, and many other wielders
of a mighty pen. Being jibed incessantly for taking
the light course which affords such ample opportuni-
ty for "hayhitting" during daylight hours, has never
worried him in the least, and even if he is the "only
and spoiled child of indulging parents," he appro-
priates his spare time in digesting such instructive —
and interesting — subjects as Social Psychology or the
Russian language.

"Hcin-y" higan his cai-eer as a cadet with the class of '19. but the god-
dess Minerva decided that "20 was able to .supply him with a more congenial
atmo.'phcrc and thus we gained a good man in 1916. His life here has fol-
lowed a path ^inlilar to the course of trtie love; he "bulled out" Christmas
in his first llird class year, was "busted" from top sergeant in his second
class year, and, altho he was appointed lieutenant finals, he lost this along
with the other cadet officers among the noble forty-seven in his first class
year. In the company and on duty "H. 0." was efficient as a matter of
principle. But if you have ever talked to him in quartei's. you know that
there never was a finer Bolshevik at heart in the world: the sound of an ex-
ploding bomb always threw liim into grandiloquent
ccstacies of transcendentalism, nor was his .jubilance
diminished by those nerve wracking long rolls — the
true test of sineerety of attitude. Those who know
"Merk" also must confess he has a way with the

greeting extended to George when he appeared in the
barracks under the thick war clouds of the early
months of 191t).
As one of the famous eleven chemists in the first
class, George invented a smoking pipe, which has been
proved to be very sanitary, because it absorbs all
nicotine from the tobacco before it's inhaled.
With such inventive talent success in life is as-

This "kcydet," follower pans parsille of that almighty 7.5 and visutal

thru the Main Arch in the fall of 1916, with the rest of '20. Realizing with-
in the first few days of his servitide that one's "rat" year was no time of all

rest of us to await developments — and Finals.
In his third class year before he had looked down fi'om the mighty
heights of a corporal even a month, "Crazy Ed" got a deck on the world
in general and our neighbors on the other hill in particular, loaded up the
Evening gun with small boulders, horse shoes, et cetera one day and let 'er

and removing his coveted chevrons at the same time.

A few day.s after the class of '20 embarked upon its career as a thii-d
clasp, someone discovered a fat little molecule in one of its sections. Upon
being questioned on the matter, this, replied, in a thin treble voice, that its
name was "Cox, Sir." That this yottthful voice would be a disgrace to the
third class was immediately noticed and remedied by his kind classmates;
referring him to Demosthenes as an example. With many ups and downs.
"Maxes" and Penalty Tours, and incidentally visits from his ever thought-
ful classmates, Eddie passed through his Rat year.
Returning next fall, it was a hard matter for him to decide upon what
course to follow; but after taking another look at the numl)er of maxes in
the previous in Chemistry, he decided to become a
desciple of "Old Rat." Since this time he has kept
right on demonstrating that when it comes to H2S04
and H2S, he is still the same old high-brow.
Since this time Plddie has often risen to remark
that all Avomen are deceivers and "witness him" on
never again. Now P^ddie, in saying goodbye, we can
only wi.sh that it will be for a very short time and
that during this period your wor.st luck will not be
half so bad as vour best has been.

As a "Jlister" avc have little to say of "Dab" because he attended to

portant office of a "Corp" finals he then began to shoulder the responsibili-
ties of his command. During his third class year his daily post was follow-
ing his chin ai'ound the stoop seeing that the dumb misters walked the nar-
row path. His second class was interrupted (?) so to speak with a months
"camouflaged Christmas furlough" at that time returning from the services
of his country. But now he at last reached the lop of all aspirations, get-
ting a dip., for which no one has looked forward to more than he. Even
now he has us guessing concerning the "fair sex," seeming at times to be
immune to their influences and at others a little sus-
ceptible. The proper "dope" is said to be had on
liim now as some remarkable changes have been made
lately, and it seems as if he is completely in the re-
lentless gi'asp. After reporting released from "strict
niilitary discipline," he expects to settle down in the
Hill City and contract a pile of long green. What-
ever his choice may be it goes without saying that
his efforts will certainly be realized. In closing these
words, we can all say that he was a valuable asset 1o
his class, a loyal friend and a perfect gentleman.

"Doc" came to us from Kaiidolph-Macon where he spi'iit two yt>ars of
his career; but untainted by this "college life," he quickly entered into the
true spirit of cadet life, as is evidenced by the innumerable confinements
served during his period of eadetship. It was not until his first class year
that he met his dowiifall. This came about in his cavalry career, when he
began to live in mortal dread of anything that had a mane and tail. This
is the only thing that anyone has ever known him to fear, and in conse-
quence of this fear, he developed a chronic case of "gim i'iding, " along with
praetieally all the other members of the riding class.
During the Avar he enlisted in the Field Artillery and was a.ssigned to
the Central Officers' Training School at Camp Zachary
Taylor, Kentucky, but upon the signing of the armis-
tice, he returned to V. JI. I, In parting from him, it
is with genuine sorrow that we bid farewell to a true
and loyal friend, who won the love, esteem and de-
votion of all those with whom he came in contact. By
his remarkable power of concentration and his excep-
tional ability, combined with a most charming per-
sonality, he will gain among his fellow men a place
tliat will reflect untold credit on his Alma Mater.

In spite of the fact that the experience of an older brother should have
warned him again.st such action. Jeff came from away down in Southern
Virginia and entered barracks with an irresistible desire to laugh. And
laugh he did for the first few days while hidden away up in the 99 suite, a
veritable rat heaven, until one of these occupants, being caught in a breach
of regulations, brought the wrath of the 3rd class down upon them like a
storm.
But the 1st year doesn't last forever, and the next year found this long,
lean, lanky youth back, and a full fledged 2nd classman. There he threw
away his life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness by deciding to sttidy the shape
of a voltage wave and also formed the disgraceful
habit of displaying his unmusical talents to his room-
mates, much to their displeasure, at all times of day
and night.
As his ai'tions testify, Jeff thinks there are lots
of things from which more fun may be derived than
visiting tlie city of Lexington on F. C. P. and Satur-
day afternoons; among these joys being the privilege
of riding the ponies over the hills of Rockbridge. If
any camp lures him from home after receiving his
diploma we are sure it will be one at which he rides
when at drill and does not walk.

To look at liiiii you would hardly guess his main ambition, namely, to
play big bfothci' to the women. During his more sunny days, when enjoy-
ing the obsolete V. C. P., Sheep made quite a point of this. In faet, when
it came to dressing Christmas trees he irdght be termed a howling success.
But after the New Year's party melt called upon to forego such pleasures,
and has given it up accordingly.
Sheep lives for two things, skating and baseball, being an adept at
either. His life vacillates between this and military. Enlisting in the local
Marines during the war, the only thing coming between him and the bright
lights of Paris (Island) was the untimely signing of the Armistice. Upon
his discharge he resumed his pre-war activities and
expects to be an Engineer in the very near future.

Back in the old days when Tom Dulaney played double base (it was
base too) in the "Victrola" and "Big 'Uns" sold for a dime at the P. E.,
a lanky Greenvillain came dragging through the Arch. When accosted by
the man with the red rag over his shoulder, he admitted that this cognomen
was Snake and that he aimed to adopt V. M. and I. as his Alma Mater,
Two days of being At Home to mean Third classmen sufficed to impress
upon his cerebrum the fact that all good little rats tacked a "Sir" on to all
remarks addressed to old Keydets, tiniu'd out on the Stoojts and shed their
kicks at the door of their second stoop kitchens.
After he had passed the ordeal of the broomstick and had returned as
a Mean Third Classman, his fondness for stokeing his
puss was exceeded only by his aversion to being
- "rolled." It was during this phase of his hectic
career that our Hero took a leading role in an alleged
Bomb Outrage.
It was perhaps the tendency of casting bread upon
the waters, as much as any other of his sterling
qualities that earned for him his own particular niche
in the atfections of his classmates. However, be that
as it may, when the class breezed down the aisle and
lined up so Old Nick could pass 'em around, Cosmo
\\a& there with bells on. It is the universal opinion
of his instructors that his intimate knowledge of why
is H2S0 and other abtruse problems will bring him
out on top, just a "kallyhootin, " and so now, all ye

But for the armistice the Germans would have added another specimen

It was in the fall of the year 1916 that "one" P. Groover was received
into our midst by the gentle, sweet and sympathizing voices of the proud
wearers of the Corp. "Chevs." Little did we dream that this personage was
destined to rise to the highest office in the Cadet Corps. But from the start,
he gained for himself the reputation of being "the most running rat in "C"
Co. As a corporal "Gonni" pi'oved himself \\-orthy of a real office and
in his second class year we found him 1st sergeant of "F" Co., and to say
that he was a hard orderly sergeant would be putting it mild. And right
here is a most befitting place to say that Paul's aripirations began to turn
toward other things than those of a military nature ; for the call from the
"fair sex" came and from the number of "sheets"
that eame to "suite 99," addressed to him, we became
uneasy as to whether he would even spend the re-
mainder of the year with. us. But perhaps it was a
pas.sing fancy, for he decided to stick until Finals
anyway.
And when the Final formation rolled around, the
clear and unmistakable words came forth across the
parade ground like the shot from a cannon, — "To be
Captains, 'One' P. Groover." From the pinnacle of
this glory he has gained the prestige and confidence
of us all. A man of the highest standards and ideals,
his friendship is an accomplishment, for to know him
is to love him.

It was a memorable day in Baekstone when this illustrious son left his
native haunts to seek fame and forttme at the Virginia Military Institute.
Military? That's him all over. He started "running" from his rathood,
and this habit eontinued even when he became a first classman. After the
stormy and tempestuous year at the hands of the mean third classmen, he
entered the much smoother waters of old cadetship. As a second classman
his latent talents came to the fore and after a short while he became truly a
marvel in the art of signalling. His ability in this respect was quickly
recognized and, as a first classman, he was made cadet instructor in this
branch of the military course. Although he is an able disciple of "Monk,"
as an Electrical Engineer, it is not at all improbable
that he will become a painter, because of an intimate
knowledge of colors, and especially of a certain .shade
of Rlo^\n When the time arrives for us to leave the

Ves, it's from Louisiana. That wc knoAv, also that he started his career
with an aim to be the Biggest Dog in Barraclvs and the most worthy follower
of "Chappie." We know by the number of wedding invitations he has re-
ceived, bearing the same postmark which used to be upon the "Pink Sheets"
he was wont to receive daily, that he has been luisuecessful in the former.
And we know that he has been very successful in the latter by the stars that
adorn his sleeves, and his ability as a past master in the "Art of the Artists."
GJeorge possesses a most fluent "line," and j)roved his ability to get by
with almost anything when, dressed in a Keydet uniform, and Avearing liis
first class cape turned back so that the red lining showed up to best advan-

died a hard death when he elected to become a disciple of "Piggy." We

In practically all ol' the graduating classes of this institution there is at
least one representative of the "Local Boys." Jolm claims the distinction
of being a member of this class and well has he lived up to their noble tradi-
tions and attainments, except in his ability to obtain a furlough and in his
attempts at being a "I>ig Dog." in both of which his efforts have been wholly
unsuccessful ; the latter, however, does not seem to be a cause of much worry
in his young life.
He is forely afflicted with an acute ease of "laziness" but this cannot
be held against him to any great extent as such an attainment seems to be
common to all of tho.se who choose to follow the life of an "arti.st."
But, nothwithstanding these minor failures, he has
proven himself of marked ability and is indeliby
stamped with that key of success — perseverance — and
if he ever detei-mines to do a thing, that thing will lie
done in spite of all obstacles.
Thru his ability he has been an officer in the cadet
battalion for two year-s and thru his charming per-
sonality he has won the fi'iendship and good will of
the entii'e I'drps. Il is with genuine sorrow that we
see his pei-iod of cadetship drawing to a close.

Say, have you ever heai'd aixmt that l)ravi' hand, the nobh' forty-seven!
Well here is one of its members, the only original "Hawk." He eanie to us
from Huntington, W. Va. where he took part in high school athletics and
after the shock of his rat days he has made V. M. I. a worthy athlete.
"Hawk" campaigned with the basketball team for two years and the var-
sity football for one. His playing was of the highest order and he never
failed to put all he had into the game. Howard journeyed to Camp Taylor
with the rest of us and says that while "Old Taylor" was all right, those
week ends in Louisville were better. "Hawk" is a chemist by name and
nature but from all indieations we feel that the romance attached to the life
of a traveling salesman will suit him better. He says
that he is going to pull off a big deal in Philadelphia
about the time that our team hits Penn. next year, and
from the way things look now we don't see how he
can miss. Whatever it may be old boy, we all hope
that your sevens and elevens all come on the first shot
and that the others come afterwards; and we know
that you will keep the "dice" rolling in the future
as you have in the past. The best of luck to you; a
true tj'iend and a good fellow.

"Jew" i-ame to u.s as a third class rat in the fall of 1917. Altho his first
year eei-vod only to prove to him, as well as to everyone else, that he was
not a shining- light in military affairs, he returned in the autumn of 1918 to
demonsti'ate that he was an "Aiii'ora Borealis" of a Liberal Artist. In ac-
cord with his true artist character, he obtained the soft job of mail-carrier,
but was quickly "busted" from this for satisfying his ever pressing hunger
while the 0. D. was looking on. lie paid dearly by touring in front of bar-
racks evci'y Wednesday, Saturday, and Siniday for several weeks.
Pursuing his course as an artist, "Wang" was back again in 1919 for
his first class year, in order to get the full benefit of Y. M. I. But. alas! he
was among the forty-seven who were deprived of all
privileges for firing a roman candle, blank cartridge,
or some other "death-dealing" weapon on the night
of December 31- January 1. The "Senator" is a great
one for arguments and if you stay ^\ith him you arc
Ijound to lose. W hen \oii do give up he \\ill quit
arguing Init he won't stop talking, so leave him alone.
"Jew," we know you will " kiuick them for that
pi'ovei-bial row" when you get out in the world and
success is bound to be youi's. Here's looking at you.
"Pony Boy," and hoping that you will learn to ride
a horse before you pass to the next world.

History tells us that Napoleon was exceedingly short in stature. If
there is any truth in this, "Fish" resembles him in at least one particular.
During his four years of toil, trouble, trial and tribulation. "The Herring"
has been more or less entangled in many plots and plans detrimental to the
general peace of the Institute. His debut was made in a famous egg fight
when he was a rat and the climax was reached as a member of "the noble
Forty-seven."
"Fish" reflected great credit upon himself and his family when he
elected to become a devotee of the Arts. The diffieulties offered by Russian
authors and the exponents of Psychology have held no terrors for him.
His sojourn at Camp Taylor developed his great
love for horses and his experiments in equitation dur-
ing his first class year were aided by a folding ladder
which he always carried in his blouse.
Though supposedly a citizen of Mississippi, Fish
seems to take an unusual interest in the state of Ala-
bama, and his life seems a barren waste when he can-
not count one pink sheet from that part of the eoiui-
try in his daily mail. There is only one conclusion
to be drawn, that he intends to pick up his better
half and recover the '20 hardware he sent in that di-
rection at an early date.
And in future years we will all be borrowing
money from the financier who will be just able to
reach to the top of his glass-topped, mahogany desk
"down ill (lie Miss."
"Back to back."

weight of the age; he has also won more pie eating contests than any other
man in Hoges' Station, Ky.
A moi'e persevering lover than Charlie never graced these walls. Every
night since he was been a Rat he takes forth pen and ink to try and place
himself in the good graces of one in a far pastoral country. As an athlete
our hero stuck with the football team as a scrub foi- four yeai's. playing on
the class team in every contest. As a Mexican athlete
he is also the peer of all in the class. He is the
center of all class room deliates and is seldom .silenced.
The success of this volumn largely depends on his
])i'rsi •^•(■rance and hard work. Charlie expects to take
up scientific farming and it can be well assured that
he will be a wonderful success, as all fat men love to
sit and Match the crops grow. His good spirits and

First Call for D. E. C. sounds, and "Monk" begins to shave If he does
it sooner he will be boned for beard on face. Surely this little guy was born
for a life of luxury, for it must be confessed that he likes late hours with a
little hay in between. Breakfast means nothing to him and Taps he never
heeds, drawing or reading until the wee sma' hours of the morning. As a
rat the Old Cadets would ask our "Monk" why he was so ehesty : as a
Mean Third Classman the newly cadets had to suppress an inclination to
request him to bring his face from behind the bushes.
His .stunts range all the way from eating peanuts in the Zoo to scratch-
ing himself. With the exception of his inability to SA\ing by his tail, he is
a living proof that Darwin was right. From a study
of his church attendance ^ve conclude that he is pos-
sessed of Hebrew instincts.
He isn't electrical by nature even though his stor-
niic baltei-ics keep supplying juice after his dynamo
has I'un do^^■n. Let him once get his hooks on that
elusive dip and he will hie himself back to the land
of his nativity; there he hopes to rake in the "long
areen" galore.

The abo\c bare statement of facts A\ould be a tit and chei'ished epitaph
to go on any "Keydet's" service record. But his virtues and accomplishments

four years can attest to his ability as a leader of men. His efforts as a class
officer have been of infinite value to the class in its many trials and tribula-
tions and he has never .started anything that he didn't finish — and finish well.
"Jeff" has been directly responsible for the success of the hops this
yeai-. tho he did have the habit of using his whistle to the unfair advantages
of the rest of us on those "special extras." In this last year, as Second
Lieutenant and Quartermaster, he did remarkably efficient work in the

"Bandoline Bill" acquired the habit in the Everglades of Florida while
chasing escaped Seminoles or Orioles, whichever brand he was. Just why
he does it nobody has been able to find out. His hair has been getting fewer
and far-betweener ever since his arrival but "Weyum" still persists in try-
ing everything from soap and water to electric vibrators.
"Bill"' acted in haste and repented in the few uio-
• ments of leisure allowed him when he decided upon
Chemistry as his path to fame and fortune.
" Weyum 's" most noted accomplishment was due
to the fact that he was able to go anyone at least
one better on any subject no matter whether he had
ever heard of the question undei' discussion, or was
forced to draAv upon his powers of clairvoyancy and
unequaled imagination. His tales are of a marvelous
degree of ingenuity and. though his audience is
skeptical in the extreme, he gains credit for being
able to silence any member of the corps when weird
tales are the order of the day.
He may turn out to be the greatest specialist in
the countiy. or the most dependable family physician
in his locality, but his many admirable traits will
prove to be the best prescriptions at the command of
anyone in gaining new additions to the long list of
those who are proud to call him friend.

Behold, gentle reader this .exponent of the 20th centin-}'. fair of face,
gentle in speech, but big in action. He first graced these walls in the fall
of nineteen sixteen and has always been the most anxious to leave at Finals
but is generally here when the first Rat crosses the arch in the Fall.
Julian has many accomplishments: the main ones being his magnetic in-
fluence over his fellow cadets (and may it be also stated that many of the
fair damsels that are wont to grace the hops, are well within his magnetic
scope), the sportsman-like spirit that very few attain, and a personality that
holds him in the highest esteem and respect of every Cadet in the Institute.
For two years he ha,s led the class thru' trials and tribulations, always on
the top.
Our worthy Pi'esident intends to enter the tobacco
business after a year or so in some University. His
classmates can well picture him \nX\\ a large wad of
"Natural Leaf" in his jaw several years from now,
tho' his first attempt was a gross disaster He has
guided us in oni' erring ways and will always be re-
garded as a staunch friend, a smiling companion, and
a Man's man.

Hailing from an alleged metvopolis, "The .Matjic City." and in a bash-

lieving that "Distance Lends Enchantment."
He is a jack of all trades, being able to take any thing to pieces from a
Victrola to a Generator; thus being technically inclined, his lot Mas cast with
"Monk," and he has become adept in running down elusive electrons and
vanishing volts. His remarkable ability in the manipulation of vectors, bor-
dering upon the uneanny, has planted him firmly in the hearts of the little
man with the "Specs."
"Chappie's" only cross seems to be "Boots and Saddles;" at this drill
he is wont to dismount frequently without command.
^ ; _, We believe this is due to his absent-mindedness; that
is, forgetting he has been discharged from the Marine

it is to the lasting credit" of this small prize package that he sur^-ived the

marvel over the effects of his ruthless gaze would have had on newly cadets
had he been piivilcged to be a hard third classman.
As a mail ordirly he came to control the happiness of the second class
by dolling out the prized letters from home at 10 o'clock C. P., thereby forti-

"Oyster" found the monotony of barracks existence a sharp contrast
to the fast life of gay "Paree" but like the rest of us he passed through his
"rat" year quietly, altho disgustedly. His rebellious nature, however, became
only too evident in his second year and expressed itself for the most part in
a number of midnight adventures and holiday celebrations. His persistence
in pleasure seeking was undiminished by his enlistment in the U. S. M. C.
and his "devil dog" doings only sharpened his antipathy for all things mili-
tary and for every regulation of discipline. But it remained for his first
class year to bring out the real "Bolshevik" tendencies in "Sausage." No
one enjoyed more than he, the sound of an exploding bomb or any of the
other escapades of the third class. No one experi-
enced such ecstatic enjoyment in the performance of
his duty as a member of the Noble 47, as did "Monk"
at 12:01 on the morning of January 1, 1920. Even
^y^ESii his serious thoughts are pervaded with ideas of
pleasure, so if you are ever looking for "Epp." seek
him in one of the big electrical concerns of naughty
New York City.

life ; and burdened M-ith the e.xample of the others he came, he saw, he was
conquered. There was added to the despondency of his rat daj'S the
overwhelming prospect of a future course in "Civil." The following year,
even too young to go to camp or to join the reno^\Tied S. A. T. C. he had
the doubtful recompense of being Sergeant Jla.jor, and with the readjustment
of things he managed to hold down a sergeantcy. During his first class year
he proved his capabilities as a Civil Engineer by being first aid to "Oley"
Anderson in surveying the White farm and the new athletic field, thereby
piling up so many hours of credit that he was able to defy even the pi'ogres-

Here it is. A beaming smile, and not a single hair out of its place. This

Tile aliovc named product blew in, "rcoc-ed" tdi- first corporal, direct
from John Mar.shall High School Cadet Corps. He promptly proceeded to
spoil all of his chances by entering the third class.
In due time he became a sergeant and for a while held everything from
that to a bevo cadet lieutenant. Women hold no charms for him, however
he "vamps" them all with his classic exhibitions of terp.siehorean art.
His principle faults are speed, dignity, and conscientiousness. The com-
bination of these with ability and the willingness to work until he sees the
job well done lias enabled him to make a success of his course in Civil En-
gineering. '20 expects the same from you later in life, Frank.

Thc fame of "Sputtanbui'g" has never been in doubt since the moment
"Monty" donned his first pair of long trousers, filled his trunk with pen-
nants, silk shirts, and pillow eases ready to enjoy the pleasures of college
life at the Institute. As a rat "iMonk" gained a great deal of attention on
account of his more or less military bearing. After successfully navigating
the perils of his thii'd class year Walter faced the future with the wish for
Ix'tter things and nianrully turned his back on the past, and the few deficient
subjects it held.
Having reached the tui'iiing point of his career at V. JI. I. his lot was
ca.st Avith Chappie's Liberal Artists, probably with the hope of improving
his assertions on "The Greater Love." The "Love
'^ales of Hoffman" cannot compare with "Monk's"
Hunchausen-like adventures in the same realm. He

cf this character, and each one seems fairer than the
1; St. Seen in action at the hops he is imcomparable.
a id his correspondence list containts many additions

It is the firm opinion of the host of friends "Mun-
t:> " has won at V. M. I. that he will devote his nuuiy
talents not in one line of endeavor but in many ami
t'.at each will prove an unquestioned success.

Horace sig-ned away his freedom in September, 1915, for foui- year.s he
then thought, but now he has decided it takes five years to get the full bene-
fit of the Institute. Having been so advised by the "Local Boys," he was
a "running mister" and was rewarded with a corporal. After ten months
as "number 4" he decided he would get a new start, so he began his Third
Class year all over again. Not being a member of the Z. D. C, his clierished
chevrons were removed after .seven months of his second go-round for ex-
cess demerits and he began the life of a private in the ranks, which isn't such
a hard life after all.
In bis second class year he attained the ambition of many and became
the "little drummer boy" of the corps, making the
irksome march to and from the Messhall a pleasure.
Thus he slipped through his second class year, burst-
ing into his long hoped for first class year, like the
rosy dai-sn.
All went .smoothly for "Horrible" until he was
pursuaded by that horrid combination to enter the
pyrotechnical celebration staged for the arrival of
1920. He carried thru his part of the program as
arranged and led the "Old Yell for "20" which ended
up the night 's performance. Just like the rest of the
"Noble 47" he took his medicine, as bitter as it was,
and again became accustomed to penalty tours and
confinements, and in return has been rewarded by
now being able to call himself "a graduate of the
V. M. and I."
"/ sivear I reckon he's about the dumbest commandant ive've
ever had."

The exotic adject i\es, "irrcstiblc, " "impulsive," "cheeky." applied
so promiscuously to this favorite son of Suffolk fall far short of the mark
when it comes to describing our Jack. He attracts the attention of every-
thing from the cradle to the grave ; in trousers, skirts, or neither, from near
or far. lii fact such are his attractions, detractions, and oddities that the
usual classic remark for a new calie watching parade is, "who is that little
chubby Captain with the right oblique nose?" Be it said for him that if
she is worthy of his steel he has never yet failed to give her all the informa-
tion she asked for and a little more besides.
From a professor of the Terpsichorean art in Suffolk he devcloinil into
a past mastei- of jazz at our hops, with going so fni-
in producing invocations as to gain the title of the
"CTalloping Hession." Be it said for him, hoAvever,
that he falls short of the title in one respect-such was
his savior faire — that he never lost his head, which is
indeed remarlcalile in view of the many feminine
hearts he caused to Hutter.
His fi'iendship is a valued, if uncertain quantity,
and thanks to the warmth of his nature his true
friends are many and loyal. Owing to his aforemen-
tioned iriesistiblc qup.lilies we have no doubt Ihat in
life's mad \\\\\v\ he'll nc-^-er fail to take down llie

Behold a man who believt's he can fool the whole workl by keeping
silent and thus having it said of him — "8till water runs deep." "The Royal
Long-Tired Odysseus" of Homer's dreams had nothing on him if you will
only listen to his troubles.
Prim and prceise as an old maid in his room, he bears up the traditions
of the First Class Privates by being a "Bolshevik" in appearance, and ac-
cording to Our Major Bud, his habitually initriDinied whiskerettes and un-
shined .shoes are the one note of discord in the front rank of "B" Cumpany.
Whenever the "Walrus" has his turn at the wash basin, \\v makes the

time he saw a eavali'v liorse shove his whole muzzle

"Jack" hails fioiu the ".Magic City" and, despite this fact, he's proved
himself an all right sort of a fcllc-v. One of the biggest mistakes of his life
was made at the end of his third class year when he failed to avail himself
of the opportunities of oI)taining an education and, instead of taking Liberal
Arts, he decided to listen to "R. B. " three times a day. Eight now. tho'
full of bridge de.'-igns and such things, he is further advanced in the art of
"shooting the l)uir" than even the l)cst of "Chappie's" disciples. It is hard
to imagine what "Twee" would be today if he had taken the dialetie course.
As it is he is capable of ( arrying on a Huent eonvi>i-sation with anybody from
"Fannie Dooley" on u]).
"Bird" has been a worthy successor to the far-
famed cheer leaders of yore, namely "Bobljie" liond
and "Jimmy" Thompson, and it is rumored that our
teams were not the only features which attracted the
huge mobs to the games played in Roanoke this year.
The boy is talented too: he sings, plays the piano
al)out as well, and is an exponent of the most modern
terpsichorean art — using Jack Honore's (^leaqua bolh
in — and externally.
"Jack" has liecn a class officer and has been one
of the leading factors in pulling the class thru' its
many ti'ials and tribulations. Always jovial, he
made liimself one of the most popular men in school
and his i)leasing pei'sonality will be missed by us all
next year.

A sense of humor saves many a situation, and in four years at V. M. I.
there is many a situation to be saved. JIany a time vhen it seemed like a
case of "all's lost save honor" to those of us cursed with a senous turn of
mind it was only a case of "all's lost save humor" with "Pousse" and just
so many times have peals of laughter and a beaming countenance informed
lis that he had nabbed the ray of .sunshine that was to lift us all out of the
ditch.
Don't be misled, however, by this jovial exterior to think that he is but
a child of pleasure, for a long look into those dark brown eyes give a hint
of depths unplumbed. though we suspect the fair sex has been given more
opportunities 1o solve their mysteries than fellow
"keydets" less susceptible to his blandishments.
Through all the turmoil of Bolsheviki ideas, he re-
mains true to his colors and standards. His opinion
is one to be respected, for when all the rest of us
have finally reached a conclusion through tortuous
arguments and reasoning we look to "Pousse" lack-
adaiseally smoking his pipe in the corner and find
that was what he had been thinking all day.
Jntl I only shot a roman randle and a skyrocket."

"Cap'n Tex" Potts in the fall of 1917 advised Old Nick that he was go-
ing to gi\e the Institute a trial. Pic displayed great indignation at the out-
set because he was not allowed to have his pet rattle snake in barracks but
was slightly appeased when the Commandant assigned him to the same room
as Squaw Baby Davis.
On entering the second class he decided to follow Chappie thru the lib-
ei-al ai'ts, the most liberal of these being that of sleeping anywhere, anytime,
and thru anything, lie also aspired to, and won the high rank of sergeant
ill this year, and lliere is no doul)t that his efficiency in "B" Company won
it the cup that year. This efficiency is proved by the fact that the Kaiser
abdicated almost immediaely upon "Mo's" arrival at
Camp Taylor, where he hoped to secure a Second
Lieutenant in the Field xVrtillery.
In his fir.st class year he joined the Royal Order
of 0. G.'s, in Mhich organization he did very com-
mendable work until he resigned to join the Noble
Forty-seven, this lieing the last organization in which
he figured.
Morton is kno-\\n to us as a loyal and true friend,
and his ])leasiiig personality and constant genial dis-
position lia\r won the I'espect and admiration of all
who have known him.

Upon making the great discovery tliat he could listen to a Chemistry
Lecture without going to sleep, and in addition, that he could combine his
ideas of chemistry and bolshevism successfully, our hero (?) could see no
other course than Chemical Engineering. To what his success as a highbrow
has been due m'c have not discovered, since he has been known to ask re-
peatedly the difference betAveen the duties of the Officer of the Guard and
the Quarter Guard sentinel.
He is very fond of walking, especially Sunday afternoon, and is often
seen wending his way toward East Ijexington. He is the composer of many
"odes to Venus." He once narrowly escaped being drowned in his own music,
and now plays the "Vic" constantly. His principal
object in life is to learn the art of keeping two flames
burning for him at the same time. In this he has
partially succeeded, due lo the able assistance of
Burger's book on "EIow to make Love." His princi-
pal setback occurred when several at Sweet Briar com-
pared notes, and found that he used the same line
foi' all.

Billy .joined us in oiii- rodent days. During this joyful and care-free
year he decided 'twas best to let all natural inclinations take a back seat
and only show that side of us that "rats" are supposed to show. i. o.. a
silent voice and a "running" attitude, hence, when Finals came, he was one
of the high and mighty corporals that thinks a First Captain hasn't even a
look-in when they're considered— Sie Semper Coporalis.
"Cutie" managed to eke out a fair existence until his second class year
when he fell under the wiles of "Piggy" — and thereby hangs a tale.
With an ovci'powei-ing weakness for "les femmes," Billy can be foinid
most any night either in that characteristic pensive mood of the

In that awkward year of our rathood. one, A\alking' down the ranks of
"F" Co., might have seen "finning out" vrith the rest of us, a medium-sized
youth with reddish hair, hook-nose, smiling eyes, and good looks. That was
"Freddie," the "Freddie" that was destined to live with us the remainder
of our years at V. M. I., and to pass through the mill of everlasting friend-
ship, to the end. In his passage through the gruelling and weeding cogs of
the machinery he has ever won fame for himself, beginning by securing 1st
stand in his third class year and a sergeantcy in "F" Co. As soon as pos-
sible after America's entrance into the World AVar Freddie left the Institute
to east his lot with those patriotic men who were sacrificing all for their
country and entered the Field Artillery Officers'
Training School at Camp Taylor, Ky. Upon the close
of the war he returned to V. M. I. and resumed his
studies and duties as a sei-geant. Such a person-
ality as his is hard to describe, for it is not the
personality of one man, but the per.sonalities of sev-
eral men, merged into one. In this combination, he
has held on to those qualities whicli have made him
what he is, the truest of friends, the most steadfast
to duty, and a brilliant and enjoyable companion, who
has won the hearts of both "kevdet" and "calic."

Ladies and geiillenieii, if you i-aii behold these liquid orlis long enough
to listen to my tale, avc will attempt to give you some information on the
subject. Hailing fvoiii the Capitol City, he is widely known as "one of the
loeal boys" and reputed to mo\e in the "highest social strata." He under-
went his rathood as any ordinary mortal and so attained the exalted position
of an old cadet. He had his experience holding the reins of authority as a
sergeant but decided he had rather cast his lost with the common herd as
everyone docs sooner or later, and he gained a wide reputation as a mail-
carrier during his second class year, when all the recipients of letters had to
.journey to his I'oom while he, as an artist playing true to his rolni's. early
showed his preference for hay. Another item — he has
grown and risen from company to company, trying a
different one each year, and this bodily expansion was
in co-opei'ation with a likewise spiritual development
which reaches out as a magnet and ' ' grapples friends
to him with hoops of steel." His cup of life is over-

This young Texan can't be described very well in such a brief sketch —
it would take a volume to enumerate his many and varied traits, but, for
those who know him, a sketch is not necessary and you who haven't this
honor will have to use your imagination.
During "Coyotes" "four years at the Institute he received one letter only
from a "calic," hence not having the usual "keydets" diversion at hand he
passed the time "jigging" and "fiddling." He can play his fiddle for hours
on a stretch, to his roommates grief, and he can clog dance till the ceiling
falls, and he can expound theories till he's lilue in the face, to say nothing
of his unlucky adversary.
HoAvevcr A\hen his faithful fiddle is laid uj) foi-
repairs he has been occasionally seen studying, and
this, combined with an ttnusual amount of grey mat-
ter, has enabled him to pass Civil Engineering, a feat
which speaks for itself.
In other words, he is a gay jolly blase youth with
just the right amount of seriousness, and it is with
more than the usual amount of regret that his fiiends.
the entire corps, bid him adieu.
"You see, it's like this."

Yes, true to the eharaet eristics of most specimens of his weight and
dimensions he makes a lot of noise, but he is harmless. A natural born ' ' high
brow," he works on the theory that "hay" is good for brains, in fact such
is his zeal along this line that occasionally he moves his abode and that of
the brain producing apparatus further down the stoop after taps to escape
the harangues of the D-2 poker club.
It was after he came to the town of Lexington that he found that "a
woman is only a woman" and is consequently a sadder but a wiser man.

If yoti ever ask where he is from, it may be Milwaukee, Washington,
Gloucester Co., Va., or perhaps Paris or Geneva. They say he took his first
lessons in "Vamping" on the other Continent, any way he is "All Amx'ri<-an"
along that line.
Hunt has been one of the mainstays of the football squad for four years
and his presence will be missed in the future. A more running man never
graced these walls, his knife-like creases are one of
the features of the Institute always pointed out to
strangers.
Always ready to accommodate anybody, and the
fact of his being an all round good fellow has won
bim a place in the hearts of all. Good luck to you
"Yampy." may the gi'eater bn-e come soon; for at the
rate you ari' going over the available supply, there
won't be anything but broken hearts left in a few
years.

Turner had every reason to believe that he had proved the exception
to the feeling of ins ignifieance common to most "Kat.s" when, on his second
day. he encountered an F. Company sergeant on a portion of the 4th stoop
considered .'acred to the presence of old cadets only, while further distinc-
tion came \\htn all were caused to marvel whether in "finning out" he
sought the mechanical advantage of an unbalanced center of gravity.
His expressed reason for choosing C. E. over L. A. was a disinclination
to entire!}- forego the distinction between reveille and ta])s. but he has lived
to a bitter rcafization that the other extreme is certainly not without its
advantages.
As a first classman his eagerness to guard the In-
stitute on any of three days with a consequent ab-
sence to Cavalry is ample proof of the realization of
a limitation which he frankly admitted imder trying
circumstances, to the Lt. Col., in the strongest of
terms.
Moved to emulate the achievements of others of
oui- kind who here serve as examples in khaki: he
hopes to serve as a Provisional Second Lieutenant in
the Engineers before returning to the coal mines of
his native town, the birthplace of "Stonewall" Jack-
son, from which many are to be enticed to this, his
best loved home.

The above creature is a rare specimen of .second
class "rat," who was imported directly from the far
off Celestial land of China. While but a meek rat,
Charles appreciated the full value of hay, therefore
enlisting- with the rest of those second class artists
and became a famous desciple of old Chappy, the V.
JI. I. sage. Perhaps Warpling- will never foi-get his
first year at V. M. I., especially those kind greetings
rendered to him by the friendly third classmen.
Charles has succeeded in whatever he has under-
taken. We know his ambition and sincerity will en-
able him to become one of the future leaders of the
great Republic of China.

Look liiiii over; Sir Isaac Newton has nothing to put this mathematical
genius to doing. In fact after listening to him talk for half an hour (if
suoh a thing is possible) one would think that the latter would be ashamed
of some of the theories he advanced.
His chief faults are the mandolin, singing, and the attraction for the fair
sex around Franklin. The last may seem a mystery to some, but froni all
indications seems to be true. While LTncle Sam was in the midst of the Great
Sti'uggle, Lieutenant "Esky" served in every capacity from a lance corporal
to a Bevo Lieuteiumt at the Institute while waiting his call to the "Heavies."
One of his greatest worries is whether to return to Newsoms or Franklin and
take up his "daily duties." But whatever he does
we know that he will continue with the determination
to carry it throtigh to a finish. j[^lUP^^'^>'*

"Zeke" from "Ty Ty," a little piece of dirt down in Georg;ia, cau.ses us
to doubt the integrity of the report "that everything i.s peaches" that hails
from that state. In spite of this shortcoming, however, his vieissitudinous
career at the Institute is really a subject of interest. As a rat he was char-
acterized by his intrepid front when accosted by the adverse third classmen.
As a bomb thrower his practical jokes on the commandant were subjects of
great amusement to everyone but himself and his unfortumite roommate
"Cosmo."
At the hops (Sub having spotted him cold).
Sub. — "Ai'e'nt you under restrictions?"
A. H. H. (despairingly) — "Yes, sir."
Sub. — "Report to your room under arrest."
A. H. H. (undertone) — "Hard but square, quoth
the monkey."
In spite of the high potential difference once ex-
isting between "E. J." and our local anthropoid, he
decided to sip the CURRENTS of the Pierian Spring.
In .spite of his technical endowments, however, his
editorial accomplishments have clearly demonstrated
to the ai-tists that literary ability is only a side issue
of the engineer. As the old bones of fortune have
"Snake-eyed" so consistently during the past four
years for him, the best that we can msh him is that
his future "passes" will speedily reduce his Nemesis

"Bill"- tliis Kill sun (if North and South. \\as one of tlir initial inemhcr.s
of ''JO and sinci' his '"liat" year has heeu looked up to by everyone. Per-
haps one i-eason U>r this is that he rivals "Burks" in the nundjer of his an-
eestors, as he rhiiins kin A\ith everyone in Mi'^inia from I'oeahontas to
"Labby Jim."
This reservi'd young man passed his fii-st three years at the Institutt-
without a single demerit, but on attempting to run lights to correspond ^^•itb
a certain young lady he was caught, and this variation from the straight
and narrow path admitted him to tlie i-anks of those who really enjoy V.
M. I. life.
"Willie" has the distinction of having more nick-
names than any man in barracks, but for every name
he has a good trait which we are sure will carry him
to success in the oncoming conflict with the wo]-ld. if
not M-ifh Avomen. He was not attracted to the latter
until his l-'irst (Mass year, but from all indications he
has ninic than snccreilcd in making up for lo.st time.
"Stein's" motto has always been, "Good women,
fast horses, and a .julep on the side." Of these he has
genei'ally proved a good judge, though with exce]
lions. TTowever eight or nine trips in football an
basket liall have improved his judgment, if not
discretion, in respect to the above.
Dui-ing his entire jieriod of eadetship "Bill" has
been a leadei'. and that he will so continue in later
life we have nci doubt.

FIRST CLASS
WAS back in the dark ages of nineteen sixteen when silk socks sold
for forty cents a pair and when all the automobiles that Lexington
sported were a couple of Fords and a "Liberty Brush." that the
class of Nineteen Twenty first made their debut to the profession
of "Arms" and had their introduction to mess hall "Growley".
They were days lived in a trance for most of us, but true to the
theories of time and tide, the year rolled by and left us no longer the hated
stepchildren of the Corps but real, hard third classmen.
The third class year passed as all do, with bombs and other disorders of
all natures, surrendering fully to the call of the wild, endeavoring to leave
the impression that we were the next hardest thing to nails in the community.
After the passing of the underclassmen's trials we returned to take up
the more serious duties of Second Classmen. Due to the unsettled conditions
caused by the war times, many of our classmates who were of age, enlisted
in the summer, and before the cessation of hostilities "Twenty" had nearly
fifty men in the service. Later in the year nearly all returned and the class
was reunited again. During this period officers were made from the Second
Class and they carried out their duties like soldiers. After the acquisition
of the coveted rings the big aim was for each and every man to obtain the
cherished "Dip."
Once more the Lexington Special pulled into the Rockbridge Metropolis
and deposited its load in September, and among the number were nearly all
of the old class to take up the duties of First Classmen, the highest honor
in the Institute. The fall of the year rounded out beautifully, with a highly
successful Football season and a Victorious Thanksgiving Day. But there's
many a slip between the cup and the lip, and it happened on New Year's
night, when the dismal clock in the tower tolled the hour of midnight —
Bedlam broke loose ; the fires of Babylon or the fall of Tyre and Sidon could
not have created as much noise and illumination. Fire works of all descrip-
tion and other forms of explosions tore loose and amid the melee came a
rousing cheer for the New Year and the Class of Nineteen Twenty.

But as one old sage quotes, "You'll neither pick roses off thorns nor figs
off thistles," so the reaper began to han^est the punishment of youthful folly.
No hops, no freedom, no more to strut decked in the regal plush of an officer,
but to carry that rusty musket until the Authorities see fit to reinstate.
It is a bitter pill, but it is a bad sportsman that does not take his punishment
with a smile and a good nature We see our mistake, so beware ye all who
follow.

regulars on the Basketball quint.
For Oflicei's Jordan and Jeffries wei-e chosen to lead, after three years
of conscientious service: no hettci- men could liavc been iiicked.
The days are few until we will say good bye to these walls and go out
into life as citizens. It is hard to think that we could have lowered ourselves
in the estimation of oui' Officers by the New Year's Spree, and we have de-
termined to stick out the punishment and do our duty in such a manner that
before Finals there «ill be no more restrictions, and endeavor to leave a
record that any V. M. I. man could be proud of and to reflect nothing but
credit on our Alma Mater.

EECONO CLASS
N the fall of the year 1917, there assembled at the Institute, for the
first time, a eroMd of men who are now tlie present Second Class.
The Class today does not comprise all those frightened "newly"
cadets who matriculated together. Many of them have been called
to other fields, but the great majority has stayed and has fought
onward until it now finds itself within sight of the celebrated goal,
for which many have striven and fewer have attained, namely the right
to call oneself a First Classman.
It is useless to discourse on the trials and tribunals of the "Rat" year.
Every man, from the very start, seemed to have the idea of doing his best,
so things went on veiy smoothly, as is usual in the year when one is a New
Cadet.
When the Class of '21 came back as Third Classmen, there was a firm
desire in the hearts of all to uphold all the traditioiis laid dowTi by preceding
third classmen. Every man had the spirit of "do it, or get busted trying."
It^ was done.
The Third Class officeis consisted of Pate as president and Dickson as
vice-president. During this year of 1918 and 1919, there was much unrest
due to the war conditions, and many new trials and problems which were
unprecedented were met with. It is the opinion of everyone that these
difficulties were met fairly and squarely, and overcome.
In this, the Second Class year, we assembled, bound together more closely
than ever before by the ties of friendship which originated back in '17.
At the first class meeting, Pate was re-elected president and McCuistion
was chosen to hold down the office of vice-president. With two such men
at the head, it is an aforegone conclusion that this year will add to the glory
of the class.
On December 1st the class rings were put on, and some have stayed put
and some have not. Plans have already been formulated for the other out-
standing feature of the Second Class year, namely the Final Ball. If these
Page One Hundred-eleven
plans do not miscai'i-y, a brilliant function is to be expected. Clarksou and
Gi'i'athcad were (•li(is<>n leaders of this year's social affairs.
In the other fields of scholastic endeavor the men of '21 have been
prominent.
In football, Dickson, Smith, J. T., ^Mason, Stuart, Ingram, and Wilson,
\V. Y., were awarded gold footballs, while Leech and Shipley received mono-
grams. Leech was unanimously elected captain for the coming year.
On the liaslsctball Icaiii the Second Class was represented by Leech, Lee,
and Stuart, with Lee as the recipient of a gold basketball.
The baseball and track teams have more than a proportional represen-
tation of Second Classmen.
Such is the history of lln
men who started the ball to
good work up unlil the end.

THIRD CLASS
"Ye Keydets of old V. M. I.
Who love your Alma Mater,
Whose Spirits spread for eighty years.
Upon the land and water;
Your gloi'ious spirit noAv renew.
And listen to the story
Of how the elass of Twenty-tAvo
Bids fair to join your I'anks of fanir and glo
IND READER! Have you ever had a two months vaeation seem
as two weeks? Nov.- that is just how our first summer furlough
passed by. Hardly had we broken in our new eordovans when we
found ourselves on the Lexington Limited (to two coaches) bound
for oh the dear old barracks.
We will leave it to all you old Cadets fi'om '39 to '21 that it is sure
one grand and glorious feeling to get back to the one dear spot to every
alumnus, and greet your fellow cadets and especially your classmates. Now
just what is at the bottom of all this more brotherly love? Other schools
have "School Spirit"; but show us one that has that old "V. M. I. Spirit."
Traditions and environments have a great deal to do with it but most of all
in our opinion is the one fact that we all went thi'U a year of hardships to-
gether. We thank the Lord that our class is among those who were handled
as men and not as mollycoddles during the "Rat year." It has been proven
since the beginning of the world and to every member of our class especially,
that to those, who have endured suffering together, is a tie of friendship
and love evei'lasting.
So to our f orrow and to our joy the fii'st of September found some
thirty members of our class back in scliool to drill "those rats." Dur-
ing the next ten days or ;o our •■lass Avas augmented to a number around
one hundred and forty ; a good fize class to say the least.
Things began with a good .start in most depai'tments and most con-
spicuous in Football and j\Iilitary. In football the prospects seemed so good,
as was later proven, that each contender had to knuckle down to work right
at the start. Some fifteen or twenty classmates were among the candidates.
In the military department, with the four new R. O. T. C. Units, everyone
was interested because of the nearness of that long looked for trip to unveil
the statue of General Jackpon in Richmond.
In the meantime our first class meeting brought up several points of
interest, most notable the unanimous re-election of our faithful president,
W. R. Hari'ison, and our worthy vice-president, W. V. Shannon, and the
...m^^
Piuje One llundreJ-iibietf
V
vote to ask into om- i-la.ss men wlio had left upper classes during the war.
Mantor and Summers, of athletic note, were both unanimously asked to join
us. We are proud of you both and know you will prove Avorthy of '22.
Sure enough, on the morning of October 10th, the whole battalion en-
trained for Richmond. The trip there pa.ssed uninterrupted and with nothing
exciting. On arriving in Richmond about five o'clock, we were marched to
the Grey's Armory, our headquarters. It was here that we were notified of
another victory for our Football Team. They ha^ang played in Richmond
that afternoon. A short Avhile was spent in organizing the Corps in the
Armorj'. As soon as this Avas over the whole Corps was granted leave until
12 o'clock midnight When ranks broke a mad rush was made for the door.
Classmates joined classmates, as did keydets their parents and friends of the
fair sex.
That night the «hole Corps was the guest of honor at a big hop in the
Richmond Blues Aiinory, given by the young ladies of Richmond. Those
Avho went spent a most enjoyable evening and those who cared not to trip
the light fantastic took in a show or the Virginia State Fair. Hula ! Hula !
The next afternoon, Saturdaj% we had one long hot parade. Thanks
that that was all. Again we were turned loose for the night. All of us
managed to find the place that best suited our tastes. Some went to dinner
parties at the Country Club of Virginia, many to the Jefferson Hotel for
dinner and a real snappy shag afterwards, A\-hile still others took in the
other hotels.
The next afternoon, Saturday, Ave had one long hot parade. Thanks,
giving Day. We'll say that was some trip. Mantor, Summers and Bunting
Avere our supports to that 13 to victory over our ancient rivals.
With Football season OA-er, and a great one at that, Ave thought Ave
Avould don the independence and anarchistic freedom of the Third Class-
men. 'TAvas on the tenth of December our fir.st bomb AA-as heard. Yes ! The
night was cold and dreary too, just because Ave had to A\'alk Special Guard.
But for Avhat care Ave, for in just a fcAv Aveeks later Old '22 Avas heaid from
again. The other 21 bombs for the Class of TAventy-two Avere shot Avithin
the course of eighteen hours on the last day of ]\rid-vear Exams. Great
work! Eh?
To quote another:
"Place the name of the Class among the rest.
Who've done their duty Avell :
And to the classes folloAving,
Someone this story tell.
Jjct him give fame and glory
To the Thii-teen chosen fcAv,
Who thi-CAv the boml)s and saved the name
Of the Class of TAA-enty-TAVo. "
XoAv in l!asl\c11iall we did our share toAvards Avinning the South At-
lantic ('hampioiishi]). Suniniei's, Bunting and Campbell, all of varsity caliln-e
represented us, besides a large number on the scrubs. Just look out foi' us
in Baseball and Tracl<.
As a closing word let us say to our deal' Alumni and fellow-cadets, that,
although we are yciiiiig in the game, Ave have been here long enough to get
the true \'. .M. 1. spirit into our bones. We shall foi'ever honor your Alma
Mater, and oui's to he, in defeat and glorify hei- in victory.

rnURTH CLASS
^HIS year ours is the largest class in school, there being at the present date over
two Iinndred new cadets enrolled. AVe are, prophec.v proving true, a unit of
fill III,' sirength for the Institute, when, in our future years, we shall have
|iii~-i'.i iiiini mean third-classmen, rejoicing in our freedom newly-gained, into
dignified First-classmen, rejoicing in capes and privileges.
During this session tlie Institute was saddled with a "doubly redoubled"
burden. In addition to tlie infantry training of former years there has come
artillery, cavalry, and engineering units. Hampered by a lack of facilities in
botlr men and materiel, the worli has gone nobly on. This class, having to learn
artillery as well as infantry, lias been placed in somewhat adverse circumstances. But
we "carry on" and we don't think we are a disgrace to tlie Institute, nor will we fail
lier in the pinch.
We have seen a record-breaking standard set in the world of athletics this year.
Most of the old letter men were liac-k Init we gave Hunt, Gardere, and Fox to the football
team, and Page, Kyle, and Romeyn were dur best in basketball
Our gi'eate.st days were after our football team completely demoli.sbed V. P. I. at
Roanoke. We were made old cadets during the Thanksgiving liops and lived tlirough it
to the fullest extent of the law. Some of us missed the Christmas hops on account of
a small matter one night after taps when we turned out in full force to celebrate
nothing in general, and everytliing in paniculai-. with ilnshing dippers and clanging
water buckets.
Early in January we had the only meeting, which any class holds the tirst year,
to elect our class officers. Hunt was chosen president, Caldwell vice-president, and
Hankins historian. Both elections were unanimous and we truly feel proud of the men
we have made our leaders.

SUMNER SCHOOL
ID you ever have that peculiar sensation derived from looking back
and finding more things behind than happened to be in front? It's
a weird feeling, more especially when that little bit of parchment
certifying that you have suceessfullj' completed your college educa-
tion happens to be depending on those things in front.
Thoi-oughly understanding the situation, being ambitious young
men desirous of seizing each and every opportunity to be found, there
gathered near two score, more or less intelligent individuals, in a certain spot
mthin the County of Rockbridge. Here, far from the maddening crowd,
safelj' isolated from the pleasures and diver.sions of the city, they sought to
try the soothing influences of Calculus and like subjects upon their wearied
minds.
In the coui'se of time oar heroes gained much helpful knowledge which
enabled them to find the value of X when given Y and Z; to write a letter
which would not begin "Dere Mabul;" to determine the distance between
the earth and the moon through the use of a dead soldier as the only instru-
ment, and to locate the most profitable "still" .situations among the sur-
rounding mountains.
In a certain chronicle of like events written in ye good old days we read
of the arrival of proselytes at "B. D's." shrine laden with the sackcloth and
ash uniform and certain heavy articles which gave forth a pleasant clinking
sound when a suitcase was given a sudden ,iar. "0 Temporal O Mores!
Senatum " well the Senatum has seen fit to deprive the erstwhile
garden of this United States of Four Roses and other more or less desirable
flowers. We digress, it is true, but it was necessary to explain the moun-
r,ir,e Our U,nuln;l-lliirty-six
taiuous search of the "still" places which pi-oved such an interesting diver-
sion to the temporary residents of Rockbrido'c Alnm.
The master mind which dominated the research work of these most ex-
cellent young men was so eogwheeled and "Calenlnsed" np to the ninth power
that it was possible to use an evoluted Fireplug, Rocks, and other natural
phenomena as successful instructors in the art of gathering knowledge of
subjects forgotten but not gone.
Not for an instant should the reader believe that the light recreation
afforded by the perusal of these aforementioned arts demanded the entire
absorption of every available moment of time. Far from it In considera-
tion of the e\^dence presented it is quite evident that the far deeper study
of necromancy occupied many all- too fleeting moments. This conclusion is
derived from the knowledge that the wee small hours of the night were often
disturbed by weird and oft repeated calls upon the mystic number twenty-
one to bring the bacon home. It is also likely that history came in for a
large share of attention, for it was remarked by a majority of those present
that the pictures of the four most famous queens in the world when gathered
in one hand provided sufficient food for thought and firm grounds for an
unfaltering trust in their ability to enrich the holder.
Notwithstanding their absorption in these matters it required the as-
sistance of many "Shepherds" to hold the summer Keydets to the straight
and narrow path. In spite of the difficulties in the matter of location and the
almost insurmountable obstacles Avhich beset the path of pleasui'c, it was
finally decided to transform the wilds of the village into a resemblance of
a habitable city. It is true that paved streets, cabarets, the latest shows, and
other accessories Avere unobtainable, but by employing extraordinary dili-
gence, with the use of great inventive genius a fair measure of success reA\'ard-
ed the efforts of the laborers. The strain of jazz bands began to float out upon
the still air during the wee small houi's. joy was unconfined, and gaiety
reigned supreme.
As might have been expected there were times when everything grew
dull and tiresome, when the hot sun beat dov.n upon the weary workers and
almost added brain fever to brain fag, when even the fish bit; and when the
"daily juties" of old barracks life would have been a welcome relief. But
these moments of depression were dispelled by the origination of some new
sport, outdoor or indoor. Many employed their time in efforts to instruct
the waitresses in the art of making biscuits, with only a moderate degree of
success.
If the constant dropping of water will Avear away a stone it is equally
as certain that the constant passing of seconds will wear away time. The
Pat/e One Hundred-thirty-seven
V
sunmier drew to an end and the passing days conjured up visions of open-
ings, gray uniforms, reveille and rifles. The time drew near when a fond
farewell would be spoken to the Alum and the caravan would wend its way
toward the meti'opolis of Lexington to take up winter quarters.
Pi'eparations were begun to end tin- ti-rm in a blaze of celebration, if
not of glory, and plans wei'c laid A\ith this end in view. The surrounding
country was searched foi- suitable music and at last an orchestra was en-
gaged in Waynesboi'o and transported to the scene of action. Xo detail was
neglected and when the night arrived in due course of time everything was
ready for the best effort in the way of Final Balls that had ever been pulled
off.
The .splendor of that dance is beyond description, and it will suffice to
say that the oldest inhabitant declared he had never seen anj'thing to equal
it After this great blow-out came the exodus. Some departed with heavy
hearts and all with heavy heads. But the sight of barracks ^nth the asso-
ciated realization of re-exams made the Alum seem a veritable paradise, and
all found it hard to think of settling down for ten weary months until the
welcome air of Auld Lang Syne should again release them from the thrall
of monotony.

\ h..(l an.\ appreciable effect upon the military system of V. M. I., owing to the
|\ I Ml that infantry was the only course of instruction offered. However, with
J^ \ 111! lieginning of the session of 1919-20, the "Reservation" took on an aspect
^ Ml l)ustle and innovation such as must have , caused "StonevvaU" to turn
II --i ' o\ei m his grave at the sight of such radical departures from the time-honored
I ^,'^-J' | [ S(|uads right, squads left" of earlier days.
The principle of the R. O. T. C. as now established by the government is the
de^elopment at the various colleges of a sufficient number of officers on the reserve
list to supply the country's needs in the event of war, without the confusion and delay
that marked our belated advent into the recent conflict.
The Institute has been signally honoi'ed with four units of the R. t). T. C. :
Engineering, Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, headed by officers of the regular army and
supplied with an enlisted personell and complete equipment for all branches.
In an Institution so essentially military, such variety is Indeed the spice of life.
Though infantry training for all as the foundation of discipilne still reigns supreme,
the specialization for a part of the time by each cadet, according to his choice, in one
of the above courses, has done much to relieve the monotony of an invariable routine
and to make for a balanced output of officer material.
The institution here, of the R. O. T. C, far from being a deiiarture from tradition,
is an indication of a progressive spirit and an assurance of rlie continued value of
V. M. I. to the nation in the future as in the past.

COACH H. J. SPRUHAX
Next to the militarj^ supremacy
of the Institute, and possibly, from
a purely personal viewpoint, even
above that in the hearts and hopes
of all Cadets, the success of our ath-
letic teams holds sway. Honored in
defeat and glorified in victory, the
"Big Team" embodies our spirit
at home and carries our standards
abroad. At times, certain memor-
able occasions, it A\'as, and is, the
Institute.
The success of our teams this year
has been notable. JIuch of the
credit for that success must be
given to the coaching. For the best
of that coaching we thank the effi-
cient, unassuming Spruhan. In foot-
ball an able lieutenant, in basketball
a superalative 1 c a d e r — the best
coach of the best team in the South-
Atlantic. Not the hail-fellow--\vell-
met kind who makes his best im-
pression at the beginning and dwin-
dles to insignificance at the end, but
one for whom respect and friend-
ship grows by long association. The
team, the Corps, the Institute, can
never express too fully its apprecia-
tion of his woi-k and of him.
CAPT. H. jM. read
Capt. Kead was a member of the
Class of 1916. After his graduation
he became a .sub-professor of the In-
stitute and has so continued up to
the present, with the exception of
the time which he spent at Camp
Lee.
In the spring of 1918 he volun-
teei-ed his services as coach of Track
and thus undertook the eolo.ssal task
of raising a second rate sport to its
present high position among the
athletics of V. M. I. The squad was
composed, for the most part, of Rats
who had more ambition than abil-
ity. Init wei- ' anxious to give their
all for a man whom they all ad-
mii'cd and rei-peeted. By his untir-
ing efforts the coach turned out a
team of which the school was justly
proud.
It is no small honor to hold the
high position that the V. M. I. team
holds in Track and, as has been
shown, this honor is due in no
small measure to the faithful work
of Capt. Read. It is not generally
known that the coach receives no
compensation for his ser^dces, and
that what he does is done because
of his love for his Alma Mater and
his desire to see V. M. I. at the
head of tlie list in all branches of
sport.

WILLIAM A. WINSTON
"Bill" earned the distinction this year of being the
licst manager any athletic team has had since the year
Jimmy Hamlin so capably fostered the basketball team
under his management. It has often been said that the
position of manager is- the most important and yet the
least lauded position connected -with the team, and this
is about the case here as elsewhere. The manager must
AX'ork untiringly and no matter how much he does there
is usuallj' one thing left undone — or someone to complain
about some such trivial omission, at least. No one thinks
of the manager as an essential to success. The game is
l)Iaved and so-and-so is the star winning all the credit.
True, the men who have the skill and training to play
Ihe game should get the credit — and their monograms
as a reward — but the man who attends to every little
detail connected with the entire season should also get
liis shai-e.
There was nothing too good for the men on his team
and "Bill" attended to every detail connected with their
comfort. The numerous trips wei'e Avell arranged and
the usual inconveniences were somehow avoided. It was
both quite appropriate and incidental that the successful
team of the yeai' of lOlO should be for1uiu\te enough to
lia\'e sucli a capable manager as "liill" Winston.

■ ' ■ ' - ' 'Tis a long lane that has no turning.
SAvcet are the uses of adversity, as V. !M. I. has had ample oecasion to
note in the courfo of the past fifteen or twenty years. Only a school which
has tasted naught but defeat from its traditional rival for eighteen years —
V. 51. I. 's la.'-t victory over V. P. I. was won in 1900, the historians tell us —
can know how ineffably sweet to the Lexington lads was the triumph
achieved at the Fair Grounds on Xov. 25, 19] 9.
V. JI. I. won because the Cadets were the better team. Nobody who saw
the game is likely to challenge the statement. The heavier Tech eleven
fought desperately to avert defeat but its best efforts went for naught against
the superior play of the Cadets. That there was nothing savoring of a fluke
about their victory was proved by the fact that for most of the game the
V. M. I. team was without the services of Leech, its star halfback around
whom the team's offense was built, but notwithstanding this handicap the
Cadets kept the play for the most part in their oppenent's territory and
'"•orcd a uccnd tcuehdoAni in the last period by way of sewing things up
-ind maldiig alisohitely cei-tain of the result.
It is useless to try to pick the Jtar of tlie (_'adft team as every single
man did his utmost and was, consequently, an essential cog in the successful
machine and, therefore, a star. Stuart was the gamest little fighter ever
seen on the Roanoke field and his touchdown a,';sured the victory. Bunting
was speed per.sonified and caught the long pass for the first touchdown, while
Dickson played his .'uberb defensive game thruout. Bacharach made his
initial appearance in the backfield after Jimmie Leech was banished and his
long punts averaging aroinid sixty-five yards kept the ball in Tech's terri-
tory. The line worked as a unit and Tech could neither hold ror gain thru
the charging onslaught of Mantoi-, Summers, Harrison, and Smith, Hawkins
and Ma' on cut ;hort Tech's hopes of gaining around the ends and, time and
again, broke up plays before they could well get started. As said before,
the game was one of eleven stars, or rather of twenty-two — as Tech played a
beautiful game and, tho outplayed, they vs'ere not outfought.

THE SCRUBS
Little need be said, and not enough ean l)e said, of
the scrubs who aetually made the team what it was.
L'ntii-ing, unrewarded, and unseltish. these men worked
as hard as any man on the varsity and anyone of them
would have been a star on the avei-age team had he only
had the chance.
And still these men were not scrubs in the actual
sense of tlie woixl. They were all called on time and
again to (ill a place on the varsity and in every ease
they made good. They are members of the Big Team of
1919-20 and we look upon them as such.

BASKETBALL
Captain B. JI. Bacharach
^ranager J. W. Nurney
H.UrFIOXS of the ^oiith Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Associa-
tion and Champions of the South! A scientifically developed ma-
( hiue of stars, each of whom gave his best to the team and yet made
ail enviable individual record; a highly capable Coach, who knew
the game as an expert and had the confidence of his men as well
a- confidence in them ; a squad of the gamest, most faithful Scrubs
that ever built up a Big Team; and five hundred loyal Keydets as full of
fight as the players themselves — these are some of the reasons why the
Ba'ketball feascn of 1919-20 will always be remembered as one of the most
gloriously succesi-ful periods in the athletic annals of V. M. I.
No rerume written to space can begin to do justice to the spectacular
features of the past season in which there was nothing monotonous except
the ircqucncy and regularity with which V. M. I. 's opponents were skillfull}^
and thoroughly trimmed. It was never a question of "Who won?", but
"What's the score?" In this connection it may be noted that in almost
every game V. M. I. rolled up an imposing score, at the same tim,c allowing
the other team to make only an occasional basket. Virginia Tech. enjoyed
the twin distinction of being the only team to score over twenty points
againft V. M. I., and of being the only team to prevent V. M. I. from scorinsx
over thirty points in a game.
V. M. I.'s bewildering fast floor work and almost perfect
pasring. combined with the fact that every man on the team
cculd— a'xl did — shoot, proved too much for every rival for
South Atlartic honors. A five-star basketball team is about as
common as a royal straight flush — and about as easy to beat
Tl'i'i fact was evidenced when the team got off to a fljing st.nt
and played through the season Avithout a slump.
To coach G. H. Spruhan belongs a vast amount of the m di<
for the splendid performances of his team. He showed himseU
to be a tireless worker, an inspiring coach, and a genuine spoits
r-ar. Brpidcs the flawless manner in which he directed th<
strategy of every game, he possessed an uncanny knack of pn K-
ing rut a weak spot in the game — and of strengthening it. Only
the team itself could appreciate the value of his services more
than did the Alumni and Corps.
Captain "Bert" Bacharaeh, the All-South Atlantic guar
in 1919 and 1920, and now playing his fourth year on the
Varsitv, well deserved the honor of leading a team that
furni bed three men 1o the mythical All-South Atlantii-

quint. Besides bis uiiusiuil (iiialiticatifins t'oi' tlir captaincy, be combined
lighting speed with an ability to score that is most uniisnal in a guai'd. And
time after time, he would race down the floor and cage the ball while his
forward was wondering what it A\as all about. Bacharaeh made 76 points
during the season while bis opposing forwards i\'ere making 50.
"Jimmie" Leech, Captain for lf21, and All-South Atlantic Guard in
1920, is fitted in every way to succeed Bacharaeh as Captain. He rated close
to Bacharaeh in scoring ability and proved his value to the team by guard-
ing even closer than his running mate. Leech was generally busy making
his forward miserable, but he found time to get in nearly every play and
he could invariably be relied on to take the ball down the floor by himself.
"Jere" Bunting, All-South Atlantic forward, demonstrated his clever-
ness by leading a free-scoring team in the number of points made. Bunting's
accurate passing contributed to many of the scores made by his team-mates,
and he always managed to elude his affectionately clinging guard long
enough to display his distinctive and exceedingly effective "south-paw
hook." Moi'eover, the goals he tossed from, the foul line helped to swell
V. !M. L's top-heavj^ scores and to give him the substantial total of 139 points
(o the undersized number of 8 made by his opponents.
Summers, at center, developed rapidly and astonishingly during the sea-
son. His Improvement in form and speed became more obvious in every
game, his guarding became airtight, and his shooting deadly. His work
reached its climax in the last game of the season, in which he out.jimiped,
outscored, and outplayed his stellar rival. Parrish of V. P. I. Summers
scored 72 points for the season, while the ])ivot men of opposing teams con-
tented themselves with making 38.
Henry Lee, at right forward, ranked next to Bunting in scoring ability,
having 112 points to his rivals 14. Lee started the season with a rush, annex-
ing 13 goals from the floor in the first game played. His playing was at Its
best In the first game with V. P. I., in which he turned in six prettily ex-
ecuted field goals. A superior brand of basketball is natui-al to him, and he
is expected to play his usual distinguished ganu:' next year.
Campbell waited all season for his chance, which eanu' when he replaced
Lee at forward. While he was not 1 lie finished player Lee was, he made up
foi' this by his determination and figbling spirit. Campbell could be counted
on to play al to]) speed eveiy niiiiuti' that he was in the game.
Stuart and Hawkins, substitute guards, were awai'ded letters for their
wholehearted, consistent playing throughout the season. On an average
team, these men would have starred, a fact clearly shown whenever either
of them played in a game. Stuart, in particular, was quick-thinking and
aggressivt', and he should prove a worthy running mate for Leech next sea-
son. Unfortunately, Hawkins, like Bai'harach, will be lost by graduation.
The Senilis, especially llie "ral" leaiii, caiinni be two highly praised for
the unselfish spirit shown in their «ork with the Varsity. It was the nightly
scrimmages with the Scrubs that perfected te Varsity's game, and anyone
who has seen the Varsity play will concede that the Scrubs did their work
tlioriiiighlv.

The deciding game of the series with V. P. I, was plaj^ed in Lynchburg.
It was in itself a classic and deserves to be described from start to finish.
Both teams «'ei-e at the height of their development and both teams were
deteraiincd to win. The lead changed hands several times in the first half,
but the Varsity proved itself of Championship caliber by drawing ahead un-
til it held the long end of a 16 to 12 score at the close of the first period.
Tech was out for blood in the second fi'ame, but V. M. I. was there to win
that game and every man Avas full of the confidence and fight that had
proved the undoing of every opponent. The second half was repetition of
the first, and the critical game of the season ended in V. jNI. I.'s favor 28 to
26. For V. M. I., Bachai'aeh played his last game like the star that he is.
Bunting's shouting and passing Avere marvels of accuracy and Leech's game
wa'i flaAvle.'s. Campbell, playing right forward, was in the thick of every
scrimmage. Summers, at center, was at his best in every department of the
game and stood out as the star of the clas.sic.
Earlier in the season, several teams had cancelled, and now an attempt
was made to schedule other contests, particularly with Georgetown and
Vandci'bilt. This was impossible, and the greatest Basketball Team in the
history of the Institute rested on its laurels.

BABE BALL
HE Baseball Team — with only three of last year's monogram men
left as a nucleus — has started a hard schedule and apjjears to be one
of the best teams that has ever represented the Institute. The team
has a big obstacle to surmount, namely the records of both football
and basketball, but the foi-m shown thus far gi\'es us cause to be-
lieve that Spruhan is going to duplicate Ms previous records in the
other sports and turn out a •^^'inner.
Capt. "Dan" Ingram is pitching beautiful hall ami is well backed up by
such mound ai-tists as Pate, Page, P>adgett, and Burgei-. Gardene is a new
man but his work behind the bat has labelled him a star in that department.
Jere Bunting is holding down first base; Stuart, Leech, and Mann are play-
ing the other three positions in the intickl. while Jordan, Perkinson. and
Johnson are giving them a hard fight for their jobs. In the outfield, Baeh-
arach, McMillan, and Summers are playing stellar games with Scd^'ick and
Roberts as alternates.
With such good material and the confidence inspired l)y other succes-
sers. it is only right to expect the Itaseliall team of 1920 to he one of the
best in the section.

TRACK TEAM
1KACK has cdiiie into Its own as a niajm- si«irl ;il A'. M. I. and last year's record
assured us that it is liere to stay. Each year since 1917, when it was declared
a major sport, it has gained in popularity by leaps and Iwunds ; each year
the team has improved and now bids fair to become the leadin.s contender
in the S. A. I. A. A. Sonii thing of the stanilintr of the team can be determined
by a review of last year's record.
In the first met t asair.st Trinity, we won, douliling the score (Hi thcui and
taking every first place i xcept one. Then at Blaclisburg, we lost liy a lone
point. The meet was full of thrills and excitement, victory being undecided till the
last event was over. Rut by far the greatest achievement of the year was tlie copping
of second place in the !S, A, I. A, A, meet held at Johns Hopkins, our first year In the
Association,, winning over Y. I', I, and many other fast teams. There were no out-
standing stars on the sipiad liut a few wh.i did the best work might l.>e mentioned,
Knapp, F,, captain, was always good for .several points in the weights and .lumps.
Kane was a consistent wiinier of the sprints. Cleaves. .Tones A.. .Sebriiig. and Smith
D. V. did some wonderful work and we will miss them.
Still, the porspects are brighter this year for an even better team than last
year's. Over a hundred men reported at the first call for candidates and are rapidly
rounding into form, Kane, captain, and Costello, a fourth-classman, will represent
us in the sprints. Summers and Mantor are doing wonders witli the weights, %vhile
Semans J., who won the firsts in the S. A. I. A. A. last year, is better than he was
then. .Jordan H. and Dickson are back again at the hurdles and are making fast time
on them. Eipley. Shipley. Turner H., Pendleton N,, Buch and LaFollette, a new
man, are .showing np liest in the distance runs.
Jlanager JIarshall It. has made out a good schedule but was forced to place all
three meets away from home on account of the lack of facilities here. The first is at
Trinity on April 17th; the second Is at Charlottesville on April 23rd against the Uni-
versities of 'nrginia and North Carolina. The thii-d and largest is the S. A. I. A. A. meet
which will probably be held at Blacksburg.
A brilliant season is predicted but let it be said that all we do, or have done is
due to the untiring eff(n-ts of our Coach, "Son" Read. He is a wearer of the Monogram
himself and since 1918. when he took charge of the scpiad. has lifted It to the high
position wliich it occupies. We are truly indebted tn him; and he does this only because
he has the true V. JI. I. Spirit, and because of his love for the Institute.

TENNIS TEAH
I 'apt. -Manager Leo
EXXiy at V. M. I. has taken on new life within the last few yeavs
and this present season's outlook is promising indeed. Heretofore,
the schedule in this sport has been erratic, one year several meets
being played, the next year none. But a review of last year's
Spring Tournament and the enthusiasm with which it was entered
into by the sixty entrants assui'es us that tennis has gained the
popuiaritj' it justly deserves.
The tournament began in the latter part of April but, on account of so
few courts, it dragged out into June before the finals were reached. In five
hard-fought sets, Blake defeated Lee. thereby winning the championship of
the school. The only schedule match was played against Trinity on May
8th, and resulted in a 3-2 victory for us.
For his brilliant work of the past two years, Lee was selected as Cap-
tain-Manager and from the schedule he has made out it appears to have
been a particularly %\'ise choice. It is the largest schedule ever attempted
but promises to be completed successfully. There are three matches away
from Lexington and probably as many as five on our own courts. The
Spring Tournament will be held as usual though, according to
present plans, it will start late in May.
About a hundred men are out working for the team and
there is a wealth of good material from which to choose. The
following men showed up well last year and are back again:
Lee, Davidson, McMillan, ]Montague, Clarkson, Young, J. ]M,, and
JIaerae.
There are several men who are showing real skill and they
will make it hot for someliodv in the race for the team.
The Schedule is as Follows:
Lynchburg College Lexington

HE gymnasium team is ui'ganized i-aeh year in October ami
practice is carried on from then until almost the last day of the
year, preparing for the t\vo exhibits given annually, one at Govern-
ment Inspection, the other during Finals. Those men who show
sufficient ability at these exhibits, as judged by the coach, are
awarded monograms. Work consists of performance on the mats,
fiying rings, parallel bars, and the horizontal bar.
This year's team is to be judged not by its size, which is far from tre-
mendous, but. by the quality of the exhibitions to be given. Thru the aid
of the coach, Maj. S. M. Millner, a \'. M. I. graduate and former gym. man,
the team has improved wonderfully since the first practice and intends to
present two performances which wUl supply all the thrills and pleasure that
can be hoped for.
Home, Ashley, Briggs, Budd, and Rylancl compose the squad this year.

BOXING AND
WRESTLINQ
L'ayt.-iMaiiagcj-
..Munill
HESE sports have gained popularity and prestige at a remarkable
rate during the past year, due to the fact that the Athletic Associa-
tion has replaced the old, worn out equipment, with new mats and
gloves. It was on account of the late arrival of this ncAv material
that the Boxing and Wrestling teams were forced to tuni down of-
fers of matches -H-ith West Point and several Virginia Colleges dur-
ing the past season.
Heretofore, about the only ]'ecognition the Boxing and Wrestling teams
have received has been confined to bouts and matches betAveen the halves of
basketball games at (iovcrnment Inspection and Finals. Each year, how-
ever, an increasing ininibcr of men begin to realize the value of these sports
and this season over seventy-five candidates were out. There is no fear of
this interest declining and it is a surely that several hiter-collegiate meets
will be arranged for next year. Nor is this increased interest confined to
the men at the Institute: all over the country teams are being organized at
the various colleges and univcr.sities, and these sports are being recognized
as inter-collegiate athletics.
The rapid development of these sports is. in a great measure, due to Mr.
J. AV, Zimmerman of Lexington, whose untiring efforts and skillful coaching
have laid the foundation for the production of teams alilc to uphold the name
of V. M. I. in the ring or on the mat, against all opponents.

CADET ORCHESTRA
USIC Is line of the essentials of a soldier's good morale. The orchestra has
probably filled its place better this year than ever before. Composed of the
instrnments that give tip-to-date jazz and yet retain the qualities of better
nuisle. this organization has endeared itself in the hearts of cadets because
it helps to fill the wide gap between home and the Institute. It's music takes
him back to the summer, to his "Citz" friends, to the last hops and to
occasions he likes to rememlier. In the dnary winter months it is the
orchestra that helps to cheer him uj).
Each Saturday night the orchestra furnishes the music at the picture show. It
also puts on the Saturday afternoon te dansants during the hops which are the
peppiest of them all. Of course drama would not be complete without music so the
orchestra invariably makes the trips with the Dramatic Club, In May, a call came
from the Richmond Alumni Association for the jazzers to furnish music for an old-time
V, M, I. hop at the country club. This meant another trip as well as showing the
alumni some barracks pep. In the springtime the after suisper concerts on the stoops
help to lessen the days until finals.
Probably the greatest contribution of all has been- the production of the "V. JI. I.
Spirit" on a Columbia record by the orchestra and quartet. This necessitated a trip
to New York last December. Its success has surpassed all expectations. Alunmi all
over the world are now able to listen to the song of their Alnui Mater as only Institute
men can render it. If you want to hear this year's cadet orcheslra ,iust try the "Spirit"
on your "vie."

Oh I'll tell not a tale nf the frozen North
Where men sell their lives for gold.
Or sinj; not of women, wine, or love.
Or wars and deeds of old.
But I'll tell of the land of the Golden West,
Which the "gini" riders \ised to haunt.
Where you go in a health.v "Ke.vdet"
But come out a s|ieclre. .nannt.
Where the "Bull" presides in splendor
Handing the "grav.v slips" round ;
But up above the fair "West" is,
And perils and trials abound.
This castor oil queen dispenses
Calomel, C. C.'s and Salts.
She sa.vs we're forever ridinj;.
And alwa.vs disparages our faults.
HE GOLDEN WEST
AVliere the.v see .vou smoke thru the ke.vhole,
TaUe your food and tobacco away.
Its a Hue, fine place to be from
After a long, long stay.
Take down a broken finger.
"Salts will set it aright.
Std)) in a while and see us.
You can stay up till nine at night."
For it's C. C.'s in the morning,
Aspirin in between.
Calomel at mid-day.
But food is never seen.
This the land of fear and terroi-.
Where the Golden West doth dwell.
And the horrors of that country
Have an all end\iring spell.
Wra. H. M., '20.

THE NAIL
AND THE HAMMER
A Double-] ointed Fable with a Singie Moral
THERE was once a ten-penny nail lying on an obscure shelf. It was a good
little nail, as nails go — straight, shiny, and sharp- pointed All it lacked to
make it a useful member of society w^as application. For all the good it was doing
humanity, it might just as well have been rusting away under the East River.
Then one day there came a hammer and drove the nail sharply into a wall.
There it remains to this day, living a career of usefulness and service.
There is a business house with a vital story to tell the world. It's a good story
and they know it, but they don't know how on earth they can apply it. Then
along comes the Big Hammer of Advertising, and — bang! the idea is driven
home with a smash!
What is the moral?
Just this — your business may in some way differ from all other business.
Your product may possess some quabty that all others lack. There may be a
nail on your shelf that ought to be utilized.
You may not realize it is there — it may take an outsider to find it. An Eskimo
would be amazed at our factory whistles, while to us they are but a necessary
evil.
But even we, as advertising specialists, cannot hit the nail on the head, unless
you take the time to explain your problems and find out what service we are
capable of rendering you.
In other words, take your advertising seriously. Don't rush into our office
with some copy and say " Shoot it through tomorrow." You get speed this way,
but not Service.
And Service is the handle of the hammer. Without it the hammer is useless.
For nearly half a century we have directed our energies toward perfectmg
our service. We believe that today we are better organized than ever before
to provide our clients with the necessities of effective advertising.

''At Home"
Since 1830
IT is almost ninety years since
the Boston Evening Transcript
made its first home run, and it
has been running home ever since.
The Transcript is a business-
man's paper; it frequents the finan-
cial districts; it is a fixed institu-
tion in educational circles; but first
of all and most lasting of all it is a
HOME newspaper.
Under the family lamp it is
much more than a newspaper. It
is a good magazine. This is partic-
ularly true of the Wednesday and
Saturday issues.
If you are one of the few good
advertisers who are not "At Home"
with the Transcript, look through its
pages and see what good company
you are missing.
